I had the full attention of Engadget's San Francisco (http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/26/san-francisco-uber-lyft-sidecar-crackdown/) office as I unpacked Epson's latest augmented reality headset, the Moverio BT-200 (http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/06/epson-moverio-bt-200-on-sale/). The glasses make for one heavy, awkward wearable: Coke-bottle thick lenses with inlaid transparent displays hovering in front of each eye. My coworkers and I passed them from desk to desk anyway, snapping goofy images for Instagram and musing over what to do with them. The glasses aren't Engadget's typical review fare -- it's not a product intended for consumers, and I wonder out loud how I'm going to explain the lenses to my readers. Without missing a beat, my editor Christopher Trout looks me square in the eye and gives me an answer. "Wear them," he says. "For a week. That's an assignment. You're doing it." Hoo boy.
